Ralph Fiennes delivers an unforgettable performance in this love story about a priest and an independent businesswoman whose shared passion for gambling leads them down a road of romance, chance and fate.
Oscar (Fiennes) is a priest who gambles discreetly and donates his winnings to help the poor. Ludinca (Blanchett) is an Austrralian businesswoman who boldly defies society's rules. When they meet over an innocent game of cards, their lives are changed forever. Filled with wonderful performances and breathtaking scenery, this critically-acclaimed film from Gillian Armstrong ('Little Women') has been hailed as "the most adventuresome movie yet made by one of the best filmmakers of her time." ('Los Angeles Times')
